Fly to the FrOnt-Five Races, In
Guiding hurdle Scramble,
For Today.

A shower Of rain yesterday forenoon
aud dark drifting clouds overht ad
were rather unfavorabe for the races;
but by noon all this passed away, the
sun snone out brighS and clear aud a
pleasant day was assured, The band
wagon passed through the principal
streets and the soul stirring music at.
trscted al attention to the races. The
l o'clock train which left the Charles.
ton depot was well filed, and the
trains arriving at the race grou nds
thereafter we're crowded. In conse-
quence about $500 people were in at.
tendance and enjoy ed the sport. There
We e large numbers OF ladies present
on the grand stand and at the club
house. A stiff but fresh and cooling
bretzs swept acroes the racing grouncs
from the east ali the day long, making
it pleasant for the spectators, but re-
tsrding to some extent the speed
Of the horses as they came out of
the turn and came down the home
stretch. The track was not fact yesier-
day, come three or four inches OF sand
and dust being thereon, thereby caus-
ing the horees to slip backward slightly
as they Numbered around The course.
The betting; was quite as lively, but
probably rot ss heavy as on the pre-
vious day, but was sufficient 10 keep the
bookmakers busy between races. These
who did not pass money over to the
bookmakers passed around the c)rner
ard fought the tiger in his lair, and
probably where better and greater
odds were offered for the purpose of
capturing the elusive dollar. There
were Eve attractions given by the man
sgement; all good races, and were run
for all they were worth. The judges
were Messrs. John Overton, Napoleon
Hill and Sam Carnes. The timers were
Messrs. B. W. Woodruff and Walter

Useless Education.

"A gentleman residing near Kingston
asked his daughter to write short
business letter for him the other day.
The result was not particularly en-
couraging to the man who hattered
himself that his daughter was ''sop d
the heap in the way of 'education."
Words were misspelled in the letter.
grammatical errors were hagrant,
punctuation was ignored, syntax was q,
sixes and sevens, and the whole pro
duction was more worthy child of &
than a young lady who was nearly
~through' school.
In rage and indignation the parent
asked his daughter what she did in
school. 30 we didn't bother with any
thiag like that was the reply, "we
study the higher branches. "Well,
for IS sake, begin over again." said
the man, land tiv low. Here I'm giv.
ing You an education in hopes that you
wild be able to write my letters and as
sist me in other ways, and here you
haven't the first requisite. Its down
right discouraging. that's what it is, -
and the man he;Eed sigh over his
offspring's glarng deficiencies, in the
seemingly obsolete but most importaRt
branch of a person seducation.-Kings.

Why the DELAY?

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Feb 10
Inquiry at the department Of justice ellcits
no information regarding the time when a
reply will be made to the senate resolution
ASKING the amounts due by Judgments to
sufferers by tho improvements OF the Fox
and Wisconsin rivers The judgments We're
certified to the attorney generals six weeks
ago. They should have been out of congress
long ere this, in order to allow their
insertion lin the general deficiency bill,
but no reply has yet appeared. 1t hardly
seems possible that Garland would lend him
self to such a scheme as delaying this infor-
nation in, order to aid Randall and Burnes ir
carrying out their determination to keep
these judgments from being paid, but it
looks like that to any one knowing the easy
accessibility of the information. Chaplin,
the special district attorney in charge of
these cases, is here, aud is quoted as saying
THAT he supposed congress would not pay
these Judgments as it would only make the
otner sufferers more ravenous for their
money" The attorney general sent mes
sage to the house to- day asking to withdraw
the.communication he sent in some time ago
asking an appropriation to pay the fees of
tho Columbia county court in these damage
cases

full and lovable wife is about to

Mrs. Cleveland is q splendid politician
and can win many votes. The. president is hon.

In the bachelorhood days Of the PRECEDENT. All
the same the state will give a rousing
Republican majority in 1888. So few
days remain now. don't think
congress will do very mueA besides attending to
the appropriation bills and other necessary
legislation. The educational bill voted for on
general PRINCIPLES with strong mental reserva-
tlon. doubt very m.ea whether it
will pass the house. As to the depend
ent pension bill I think It stands a
good chance to be passed over the
veto. am satisfied with the dependent bill and
all other fair pension bills Presidential timber

Gen. Bragg has achieved another victory
over Delaney, who was United States dis
trict attorney in Wisconsin. Gen. Buffers
method OF disposing OF troublesome per-
sons in his district was to ask that they
might be given a consulate in hot place.
Gen. Bragg has adopted the opposite poll

sent to a cold place. At all events Delaney
was nominated collector OF customs in
Alaska. The enloluments are not great

There are to be several important
changes in the cabinet. Carlisle will
probably succeed Manning Pendleton
will take the place OF Secretary Endicott,
and Lamont will succeed Villas. The lat
ter will probably be given place on the
railroad commission.
